I know that the issue of carrying cargo on the rear bumper of an Airstream has been addressed extensively on these Forums, but none of the strings that I could locate seem appropriate for this posting.

I recently came across two photos of late model Airstreams that were set up to carry significant weight on the back end. One is an Airstream that is for sale on Ebay that has a tool box installed on the rear bumper. The other is an Airstream that is offered for rent and sports a rack with a genset on it.

The tool box seems to be sitting on bumper support extensions that are welded to the frame. This appears to be a solid installation that was done with some thought.

On the Airstream with the genset, I can't tell how the rack is attached. It doesn't appear to be quite as well done as the tool box.

Any insight or comments wouild be appreciated. I don't know if I would want to carry a genset back there, but a small aluminum tool box would be super helpful in my travels.
